FT Blood Wonder - First Flight for Plane and Pilot

This video shows the first time I took the FT Bloody Wonder out flying.  This is the first RC plane I've flown.  I chose the Bloody Wonder because I thought it looked  alot cooler than the entry level planes.  I've played my share of airplane video games so I'm somewhat familiar with how the controls of the airplane work.  I also have been flying a toy micro quadcopter to get more use to not overcompensating on the transmitter sticks.

Here are a couple of pictures of this Bloody Wonder after I added strips, a sunburst, and a FliteTest logo so I could tell up from down when it is flying in the sky.

I liked the Bloody Wonder so much I ended up building another.  The first was retired and now hangs in my garage.  The second one (shown below) survived a few flights until the speed controller over heated and shut off and cause the plane to nose-dive into concrete.  It bent the shaft on the motor real bad and smashed the front nose enough that it wasn't really able to be salvaged.  Maybe I could have done more, but I was too sick that it crashe like it did.  Oh well, I guess I'll eventually build another. Here are a couple of shots of it.  I spray painted it with 2x spray paint from Menard's.
